Organized by the SEMI Arizona Chapter — 

Join us for the Arizona Chapter Breakfast Forum to explore the thriving innovation ecosystem in the Silicon Desert. 

Is Silicon Desert the New Innovation Hub?


With the influx of high-tech companies and substantial government funding through the CHIPS Act, Arizona has invested over $65 billion in the semiconductor sector emerging as the top destination for semiconductor jobs, investments, and ecosystem expansion in the United States.

Arizona promises to play a leading role in the future of U.S. chip manufacturing and innovation, this has led to the question, is the Silicon Desert the new technology hub?

To maximize opportunities under the CHIPS Act, Arizona has launched an unprecedented collaborative effort, bringing together stakeholders from state and local governments, industry, trade groups, economic development organizations, universities and community colleges, workforce partners, and more.

Get first-hand insight on—

  • Market Trends & Technology Drivers, Emerging Sectors, Forecast and Outlook
  • Semiconductor Growth and How It Will Impact Silicon Desert
  • University and State Infrastructure and R&D
  • Empowering a Sustainable Future in Semiconductor Manufacturing
  • Training the Workforce

These informative sessions will equip you with a comprehensive understanding of Silicon Desert's potential as an innovation powerhouse, the opportunity to network with industry leaders, and foster collaboration with like-minded professionals.

Register now and be a part of this exciting journey shaping the future of technology in the Silicon Desert.
